Altenew and Stampin' Up Birthday Card

Welcome to Monday Makeover Madness. Remember my Cross Stitch get well card from August 18th? Well, here is my third attempt at using it again. I didn't watch anymore videos because I decided I'd move on to something else and was fairly happy with how this one turned out even though I won't be cross stitching it. I did use the coordinating embossing die.


For the sentiments inside and out, I used Stampin' Up! Happiest of Birthdays Stamp Set.


My colors are Blackberry Bliss for the card base, Fresh Freesia, Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather, Pacific Point, Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen inks. I put the splatters on because I was going to enter a challenge and now I don't remember what it was as I made this last week and just posted it! I do remember I wanted to enter it in Altenew's August 2021 Inspiration Challenge.

Dig in, peeps!

Thanks for stopping by today and if you aren't already, I hope you'll become a follower. As a reminder, my goal is to reach 100 by December 31. On January 1, I'll pick a random number for a prize.
